No Limits

I'm very tired. I want to sleep so I'll try to keep this short, and maybe have another post. Though this isn't your light-hearted post, because, as I said, I am tired.

First of all, I'm having trouble with uploading photos, in such a way that most of stuff I upload end up as drafts. I guess it's mainly because of the internet connection. So if I have any team mates, classmates, or "Geog-mates" who stumble upon my site, just be patient. I'll try my best.

Anyway, on with Geog Camp. I had to wear my oversized, unused for a year, high school sophomore jersey shirt because I was in yellow team and that I'm not too fond of that color. I guess I enjoyed it the way I expected it to be in some ways, but I guess you really can't be comfortable especially with the weather. But I was surprised I somehow enjoyed squishing my feet on the ground. Consequentially, though, I'm having trouble with cleaning my stubborn nails and drying my used clothing. Getting wet in the rain still wasn't though, it was freaking cold. Hello, Tagaytay, anyone?

I really just hoped they had rock shoes for the wall climbing part. Now, I'm thankful I took Sport Climbing for PE. I guess I'm not too good with wet and rotating holds.

Thanks to my teammates, I was not my usual too quiet and too introverted self. I guess it does take a catalyst before I get to be enthusiastic in more than one thing. It's good that chance made me go with the more extroverted individuals, and not let me wallow in my own silence.

I didn't feel old, nor do I think I felt all that young, as I keep on meeting freshmen who are of my age or older, though I guess being a sophomore doesn't really make you old or something. I don't really mind people calling me with "Kuya" or not, though I guess I'd appreciate it if like people 5 years my junior would. But I miss the sound of the complete "John Dale" already.

It actually felt like being in high school. No, I wasn't the team leader, but I was acting as if I were just with my high school friends - like I already knew them for quite while, but still observing their actions. Strange, because in class, I'd really not mind any of them, except maybe my seatmate who didn't join the camp. I wonder if any of that would change from now on. I am, after all, a self-confessed introvert.

I love my Mojo sandals. They haven't failed me while I was using them on the slippery rocks and mud of the river and the camp. Thanks to Rich for that. But I'm not sure if my camera is malfuctioning, or if it is just the battery. I ended up using the low-end camera of my phone for the other photos.

Thankfully, Day by Day arrived, so I guess i don't have to worry for my Sport Climbing Class tomorrow, except about waking up early. Before I forget, congratulations to NIGS!

Belated

Thanks to those who greeted through personally, text and this Multiply Website, and to those who offered to give something.
Thanks to Rich and Miko for the Red Ribbon (ayan Red Ribbon, inadvertise ko kayo, pay me. joke lang) and the fun climbing experience. (Green slash, I will conquer you...next time)
Thanks to Ministop for the cheap but delicious sundae......I want another one.


I'm just tired. Pero excited for the Geography Camp his coming August 2-3. I want to buy sandals from Sandugo just for that activity. But anyway, I think I'll be needing a good pair for the rest of my Geology life. Pero mahal...well, kaya ko siya, pero kuripot lang siguro ako. And I have to verify kung maganda yung friction ng underside.

And the release of Breaking Dawn on August 4!

Again (Useless Post No. 1)

I want to watch The Dark Knight again. I want to watch Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3D. I want to watch Wall-E on AUGUST 13. I want to eat a Champ Meal right now.

131+300+131+115 = PhP 677!!!
I need a way to generate these funds. Or else I'll not be having breakfast for...14 days. Or not eat for...5 days. Haha.

Useless post.

Luxury

In my journey for stress relief, I bought two sachets of two different kinds of facial wash, which i don't normally use these days and the overpriced but delicious Chocolate Indulgence drink. Yesterday, walking along Katipunan at around midnight and arriving at the dorm past my sign-out time was interesting.

These are just few of the things I did in the past two days full of trying to just do something else. But I guess, it always comes at a cost. Very big costs, such that these past two days must be my most costly since I started my sophomore year. For the past weeks, luxury was just something I couldn't think of, and now that I had the chance, I'm like going at it ferociously.

Watching The Dark Knight was just so worth it, though I guess watching it in a cheaper theater would have been better. But, anyway, just read my review. But yeah, there were so many good lines which I wasn't able to comprehend right away, so I'm searching for them right now in the internet. And I still haven't found any. If I do, I'm most likely to post them here.

And I just realized that if you want to know someone better, you really should be prepared. And thank God, though I'm not really "always" prepared, at least I have "mastered" masking emotions, though I'm not saying it is a good thing, because I actually think it is not. I do it just for the sake of trying to be "rational" and getting the chance of thinking about it. So yeah, back to the getting to know someone or some people better part, it just showed me more of the differences among us. Differences in many things - the way you live, the way you make choices, etc. And this is NOT the first time this has happened. But I am still surprised.

So though I guess I have gotten over the stress (In a very COSTLY, monetary manner), I have new things to face.

I guess, this is what makes life interesting.
